Juventus will take on Sevilla in the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on Tuesday night with €122 million worth of attacking brilliance unavailable due to injury. With Paulo Dybala still recovering and Gonzalo Higuain now forced to miss out due to a thigh strain, Massimiliano Allegri will have only two recognised strikers available and one is only 16 years old.

When Juventus completed their work in the summer transfer market, critics salivated at the prospect of watching the Old Lady thrill on the European stage. Dybala and Miralem Pjanic would create, Higuain and Mario Mandzukic would score while Marko Pjaca and Juan Cuadrado would thrill out wide. Three months into the new season and Juventus are without fluidity or beauty.
